Is a shitty 49-key keyboard without weighted keys sufficient to start learning classical music theory? If so what are some good resources?
>>
>>129839847
Add weights to the keys yourself
>>
>>129839847
probably not, for classical you would need a full acoustic piano to get the real experience. For me, even though i would love an acoustic piano it wouldn't be very feasible so i'm getting 60 something key keyboard

weighted keys matter a lot. if you learn to play on non-weighted keys, it will take you a while to learn to play properly. still, if it's that or nothing, might as well have the weightless keys.

>classical music theory
If you're just learning theory and using the keyboard as some sort of study accompaniment having a weighted keyboard probably isn't necessary. If you're actually playing classical pieces and want a more traditional playing experience then weighted keys.

Ive been learning with a 49 key and its ok, if you have room id suggest getting more
>>
>>129839847
If you're just starting, it's perfectly fine. In fact if you're literally just learning the theory you don't need an instrument at all.

Bach didn't have a piano.

>>129842640
Yes he did

AI bro
who cares world burning

Yeah, why not? So many people start on the shitty version of equivalent instruments and it's fine. I started on a cheap Spanish guitar, which is kind of analogous since you can't reach all the frets (no cutaway, limited range). Beginners had better start with a shitty, cheap instrument and prove they'd make it worth their money getting something more expensive and elaborate. You'll appreciate it more as well.

Whats the point of leaning classical theory in 2026 when you can just get AI to do the work for you.
>>
>>129842701
AI can't make you understand something
